The Gospel Conference Series


 

The Gospel According to Isaiah

“The Evangelist of the Old Testament
Anticipates the Coming of the Savior”
Northern Virginia Bible Conference
April 1-3, 2016
 
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.” ISA 61:1
Many scholars consider Isaiah to be the evangelist of the Old Testament. This year, the theme for the Northern Virginia BTBM Bible Conference was “The Gospel According to Isaiah.” Gene examined Isaiah’s rich prophecies given in the eighth century before the birth of Christ. There is an astounding array of passages that portray the virgin birth, the unique hypostatic union of God and man, the proclamation of John the Baptizer, and then the life of Jesus—His ministry and substitutionary death, followed by His resurrection and future glory.There are even find hints of the call and formation of the Church—the Body of Christ—and our own purpose in the story of the ages.
Jesus read the theme verse in the Synagogue in Nazareth (LUK 4:16-19) at the inauguration of His ministry.

The Spirit as Oil- fruit bearing.

The Holy Spirit will do His job as we let Him. 



mat 11:28-30 The world instinctively know to expect evidence of Christ in our life.  They expect to see trust in trial, to see peace, poise, and rest in trial.  They expect to see forgiveness.  joh 13:35



Rom 5:1  The yoke was used as a term for school, to become a disciple.  Jesus wants to be the One we learn from.  He speaks through His indwelling Spirit.  Eph 4:20-21  It is Jesus who is ultimately your teacher.  The first rest is a gift, the second is a discovery.  When we have His yoke, we have Someone beside us.  It's a call to supernatural accomplishment. 



Prayer is our declaration to God that we are going to trust Him to do what He said He would do and then rest in it.



Joh 14:25-31 joh 15:1-10  In the Old Testament Israel is called the useless, fruitless vine.  Isa 5:1-4  Has the Lord wondered this of us too?  What has He failed to provide for us?  In v. 2, the verb used means "to lift up."  The first thing God does to a non-fruitful life, is lift it up by His Spirit and Word.  He encourages and comforts.  The fruitful branch He prunes to it will bear more fruit.  joh 8:32-36  Abiding in His Word is abiding in Christ.  Why do we try so hard to do something we cannot do?  We need to stop trying and start relying.  Rom 7:15-17  Unbelievers dismiss believers who don't act on their faith.  mat 5:13  Heb 12:29 1co 3:10-15 1jo 2:15-17
